LIGHTS OUT, TIME FOR A QUICKIE?

Fag Tapes

Jan 2012

While listening to this debut, I began to doubt my doubt of
Fag Tapes. Gotta respect a label that will put out a jagged, gnashing beast
like this—and from a pair (?) of unknowns. What we get here is modern cheapo
equipment getting scarfed down by the early 80s industrial tape worm. As you
might imagine, all sorts of creepy, screwed shapes appear out of the quivering
shade in the process. The vocals especially seem to be drawn from a dosed and
doped-up Udo Kier karaoke mishap. If there is such a thing as “real people
noise,” this might be a cornerstone release.
